Camp Wanaqua

Camp Wanaqua is the only free summer day camp for blind and visually impaired children in the New York metropolitan area.

A place where blind or visually impaired children can unwind, unplug and engage with their peers, Camp Wanaqua takes place on our main campus in the Bronx for six weeks in July and August, Monday - Thursday (9:00 AM - 3:00 PM).

We welcome new campers each year and invite you to click here to review our 2018 camp application and learn about what applying entails. Please pay special attention to the medical forms, as we have found these take the most time to complete in collaboration with your child's health care professionals.
